The real War on Terror Speaker talks about what U.S. faces overseas BY JORDAN FINDERIUKK contributing writer

In an effort to give students and faculty a better understanding of what the I nited StatM fac- i's In the War on Terror, Salameh Nematt pitjaented "The World ll not Mat A (.lash ot t ivih/a- hons or a NfW World Order?" Wednesday night in HHS2301.

He aimed to show the seven' poverty facing the Middle East today, the results of the war on terrorism, and how Amelia must resolve these issues to have Uiy HKCGM In the region.

Nematt titled his speech after the national best-selling book, "The World is Hat" by Thomas Friedman. Friedman argues the world has become an equal playing field economically thanks to advances like the Internet.

Nematt disagrees "Try to tell this to 98 percent

of the population of the Arab world that has no access to the Internet,' he said He continued to describe how poverty creates hostility toward areas of the world that have the means to help the poor, but do not

Nematt explained all terrorists come (rum oppressive coun- t nest hat wdl continue to pnxluce them. "You cannot win against a faceless enemy that continues to reproduce itself," Nematt said. He called for a global strategy where the Western world would try to clean up the Middle I Ml peacefully instead of fighting ,\n impossible fight.

Nematt also warned against turning the War on 'terrorism Into >» war on Islam. Nematt wished to "toy tO separate Is lam from terrorism" during his speech. He noted that todav | terrorists do not tight for Mus- lims, as apparent bv the lad that 'II penent ot today's terrorist targftl an- Muslim.

"We must not confuse the word 'Jihad' with terrorism," he said

He acknowledged, however, this is not Iht VMM from the West

"BecaUN ilns enemy has no national identity, it is easier to make it a war against Islamists. Nematt Mid He also noted that this lack of national identity and adherence to the Cieneva Conven- tion could cause other problems. "|lt ts| tempting to abandon the rules ol warfare when \our enemy doesn't use them," he Mid

While Nematt hoped the Middle I .ist could break out ot their eCOfl0ml( struggles, he did not think terrorism is the Middle I ast's IK-SI solution

I he) should not retort to violence," Nemau said instead, h« proposed that the f>WO billion currently spent on the war be redirected toward construct- ing a strong infrastructure in the Middle I ast, .is well as continuing ti» push tor freedoms In those countries

"L s officiate talk about ipnMding tn-cdom and |ustice, but things keep getting worse and worse, Nematt Mid "What We need to do is not just protcit ourselves, but try to neutralize the hatred."

Pope apologizes for remarks about Muslims

Pope Benedict XVI apol ogized yesterday for per- ceived anti-Muslim remarks he made last Tuesday in a speech to profWOfl 111 Germany, The WMlkington Post reported on Sunday.

The remarks, which the pontiff said do not coin- cide with his own beliefs, has sparked a controversy. The pope quoted from a Byzantine emperor who described some of the Prophet Muhammad's teach- ings as "evil and inhuman," the Post reported.

--— - .... . pnoto fflwrnoa by EVAN DYSON/pfcxe CUM i-rom Napster to urrwwlre, peer to-peor networking and sharing has become an Increasingly accessible way for students to obtain various types of flies.

File sharers walk the plank ■Y VlNOD NARAYAN ivtilnbuting imtet

What started out in the mid-lWOs as MP3s being uploaded on Web sites with free Web space eventually evolved into the global phenomenon of peer-to-peer software downloads. This was marked by the first network that facilitated this type of practice, Napster. From Napster came the formation of many other file- shanng programs that exist today such as Ka/aa, Grokster, Morpheus, EI>onkey and Lime wire, among others.

rhrcmgh the creation ot these van- ous programs, file sharing has become one of the easiest foniM ot transferring and acquiring music and movies. Some contend that though this process is easy, it does not make il right

Senior Ben Rosenberger said, "It is not OK to download music |ust because it is easy. Musical artists publishing ( I >s is iust like authors publishing books. So why do we only steal music?"

According to University of Richmond School of I .aw, more than one-third of college student! ranging fmm ages 18 to 24 downktad music illegally. Their reason: 74 percent belicv e it helps aspmng musicians and more importantly to many students, it saves them a lot ot money.

The Business Software Alliance of America conducted a study that found more than two-thirds of college students did not find it unethical to download and share copyrighted files Fifty-two percent of people m the workplace agreed with this practice. It also found 60 percent ol students hive rarely or never paid for the commercial software pffoarama the) uet

"Downloading is something I like," freshman Brendan Clasbev said. "Who's going to pay $20 tt >r .1 lit rat k CD? Nobody." Manv ot these students are unaware of the dangers of downloading. Fifty-five percent of students an? not familiar with the policies laid dow n

by their university regarding downloading files.

One of the most famous people to speak out against illegal downloading is Sen. Ornn Hatch As the author ol the PIRATE Act (Pmte.ting lntclJetiii.il Rights and I licit I irpmprlation ActX the Republican fmm Utah is .i proponent of eliminating illegal downloading for good

Meningitis kills fourth- year U.Va. student

BLOOD: Lab tests search for nine diseases

A fourth-year U.Va. student who formerly attended JMU, passed away last Satur- day as a result of an unidenti- fied strain of meningitis, an in flammation of the lining of the spinal cord and brain.

Jennifer I eigh Wells is the first U.Va. student to die Irom meningitis in 211 vears, university health officials said in a re cent Cavalier I \uh artu le

Lilian Peake, district health director tor the Thomas Jeffer- son Health Distmt, said ap pmximately 10 to 15 percent of mcningococcal cases result in death.

According to the Center It >r Disease Control and Preven- tion, the symptoms of menm- gocoecal meningitis start with a lever, a headache and a stiff neck. But inflammation ol the brain and spinal cord mem- btanttcan Intensify leading to coma, shock, organ failim* and death within hours.

Wells thought she might be coming down with a cold or a case of the flu, but within hours her lever was so high that paramedics bathed her with cold water as they rushed her to a hospital

Meningitis is spread through the passing of respira- turn droplets, such as thmugh kissing shanng a dnnking glass or sneezing on someone I lowever, shanng a classroom

or sitting in the dining hall with someone with meningitis is not considered dangerous contact

Once a person expenences symptoms, meningitis ,,in bt detected by taking a sample ol spinal fluid through a spinal lap

And we quote, Enough is enough'

Muslim outrage at free speech exercises has gone too far

fvre tcueotex **«-i«

For those of as who made the mistake ot turning on the news this week, it was deja vu all over again. Somewhere in Europe, a guy "insulted" Islam in some form of speech, and the Middle East exploded in a fury of riots. Only this time, it was not carica- tures of the Prophet Muhammad in Danish newspapers, but a quote of a histoncal figure in a speech to a university audience bv the one-and-onlv Pope.

In a speech last Tuesday, Benedict XVI quoted from a book recounting a conversation between a Persian and a Byzantine emperor in the Nth century. In quoting the emperor, Bene- dict accentuated the fact that they were words uttered in history, and not his own.

"He said, I qiMrte, 'Show me|ust what Muham- mad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."'

A few days later, as predictable as Old Faithful - and as full of hot air — protestors took to the street

burning effigies of Benedict in Karachi and firebomb- ing churches in the West Bank. Italian newspapers are reporting that the P<ipe's secunty has been beefed up. At the Pope's summer palate, when1 he deliven-d .1 half-apology for the controversy tin Sunday, sharp- shooters watched from a balcony and pJaindothes officers monitored the crowd with video cameras.

In the apology, Benedict expressed that he was "deeply sorry for the reactions in some

OOfM

countnes to a few passages of my address which were considered offensive lo the sensibili- ties of Muslims. These, in fact, were a quotation from a medieval text, which do not in any way express my personal thought."

The Pope stopped short, however, of apologiz- ing for quoting a historical document in a RMM h to college professors — for which he was further lambasted by Islamic leaders

"It is not enough," Mahmoud Ashour, former deputy of Cairo's Al-Azhar Mosque, told an Arab TV station "He should apologize because he insulted the beliefs of Islam. I le must apologias in a frank way and say he made a mistake."

Except, of course, that he didn't. If quoting a histoncal figure, even one critical of Islam, in an academic context is wrong, all liberal education is wrong — a sentiment the Danish <art 1 ion fiasco further indicates may exist in the Middle East.

In a small wav, the goal attempted by the dem- onstrations is the same goal attempted by terrorists: out of fear of violent repercussions others outside of our control v. ill submit to our demands, in this case, never, ever speaking ill of Islam. If we in the West capitulate lo such demands, in the same small wav, we lose. The fear produced by the Danish c.irtoon lallout set a dangerous precedent, indicat- ing that violent protests CM bf Ml effective means to rostraining ends let us not lose again

Are you lonesome tonight, Mr. President?

Departure of Bush's most steadfast ally will not change

the 'special relationship' between America and Britain BY JEFf GlNOlA

Earlier this summer. President Bush hosted a fellow baseball fan and fnend. Japanese Pnme Minister |uim hiro Koizumi, to a "sayonara" summit in Washington that culminated with a pilnknun to the Craceland mansion ot IK is Presley, of which Koizumi is a big fan. The special hvatment that the president gave Koi/umi accentual ed his value ot the truim.il bilator.il alliance, and that Mr. Bush will miss having fonngn loaders like him on his side. Ine MOW kind of motion will kick in again as his moil loyal fatten ally, Bntish Prime Minister limy Blair, step. down next May after caving in to prossun' from his own labour Party. At that point, Pn-.ul.-nt hush will have kist most of the loyal al- lies that backed him from the start, and must now prepare to make ma|or changes to his international agenda in a world inheritable to his views.

Three cheers! We need a pub on JMU's campus We all know that college students and alcohol mix; it is time to realize college education and alcohol can mix, too

v\ MASON Mum. contributing writer

We all wish (or things thai wt know will never come true. For some, it's Retting an A in CSG. For others, if s that their longtime crush will finally break up with their boyfriend /girlfriend just so thev can be with them and start a torrid kive affair for the ages. In the movies, the little kid asks for a pony for Christmas.

Now before you get all "No way, no how! That'll happen when parking on campus is free!"

on me, let me present my case. Let's start with the logistics of how this could be made a refreshing, rewarding reality. In the JMU Stu- dent Handbook, there is a section called "Conditioas for Approval of Events Where Al- cohol Is Served." To obtain an ABC license, the event has to meet several requirements. The big ones are no "drinking con-

hoik beverages, because Coke is deli- TZt^ will be nonalcoholic beverages, because Coke is delicious — with

or without whiskey. Next, there's got to be food. "Pub grub" is an essential part of any pub. People will get hungry while they drink, and having a menu of easily prepared foods that go down smcxith with one's favorite lager or ale will not only satisfy the customers, but it will also bring in more revenue (are you listening now, you lov- ere-of-the-bottom-li ne?).

The last requirement that the "focus of the event is not limited to alcohol consumption" is truly where my point lies. My vision of our campus pub is of a place where everyone with ties to JMU can interact in a casual, on-campus environment that incorporates the ideas and values of our university like no Hamsonburg bar can; there'd be no "interesting" townies for one thing. Imagine you're an alumnus, and vou come back one weekend and have a Guinness on

draft while looking out at the vast expanses of the campus and the Shenandoah Valley, reflecting upon the best four or five years of your life. Or you're a professor, and after class you and some of your 21-and-up students go down to the pub for a round of dnnks and some lively banter on Middle- Eastern politics, for one of the main shortcomings of colleges today is that academic discussions seem to stop the minute students exit the classroom.

I realize that only around half of current JMU students would be old enough to go to the pub. However, this would keep it less crowded and would also make the pub a pnvilege for older students to enjoy, and something for younger students to look forward to.

Then' are a few more issues that would need to be addressed to appease JMU administrators. Hav- ing one of the many buses stop in front of the pub could alleviate drunk driving. Over-consumption

could be curtailed by operating limited hours, to say Thursday to Sunday, 6 to 11 p.m. The pub would be an evening intellectual oasis, not a late-night dive bar or rave club.

For those worried about it promoting drinking, let me sav that the last time I walked into Mr. Chips, I saw both cig- arettes and condoms for sale. The school is already profiting on promoting tobacco and sex (safe sex is still sex), so having a pub wouldn't be anything new or risky.

Finally, our pub needs a cool name, because "The

Pub" is already taken. In true JMU fashion, why not have a contest for that? As long as it is not a dnnking contest, of course.

JMU's Jena Pierson averaged 10 digs per game, .is (he JMU women's volleyball team won Ml over tfac UNC-Wilmington Seahawks Saturday. 30-15, 30-19 and 30-

23 in Sinclair Gymna- sium.

The beginning of the first game was a back-and-forth event. Though the Seahawks kept it close, the Dukes never trailed. JMU led 13-10 when junior li- beni Jena Pierson took serve and started the Dukes on an eight- point run. UNC-W had possession of the

ball tor one MfVf bet on* senior nght side Manna Porterfield blocked a Seahawk -it tack to side-out. With senior right side Bayli Stillwell serving, the Dukes went on a four-point run to lead 2o-l3. The Dukes took the first game 30-15 on a block error by the Seahawks. Pierson had 12 digs during the game.

JMU took control of the second game early with freshman outside hitter Nicole I-enner putting together an eight-point service run to go up 10-1. Madison never let UNC-W get ck»se the rest of the game, before a kill from Porterfield ended the game M M 19

The Dukes had a slow start in the third game, as JMU led U-s> A strong block and kill by Stillwell helped the Dukes boost the MODI to lf>-S>, only to have the Seahawks ,1ns,- the gap 20-19.

"We weren't as EocilMd as we needed to be," said JMU coach Disa Garner, who called a timeout at this point She told her Cftn to bnng back the intensity and

ghtened awareness they had during the first game.

Garner's pep talk worked and the Dukes rallied to finally take a firm lead aiming off a Stillwell kill from a Pierson dig along the back row. JMU closed the EMM! and match on another kill bv Porter- field to take the final game 30-23. '

Portrrfield h.id .1 season high 12 kills. When combined with MillueNs nine lulls and junior middle Mocker Allyson Halls' sis kills, the Dukes owned a .182 attack perrentage for the match, compared to the Seahawks' -.057 percent

"We knew the middle Mockers earned the (UNC-WI team/' said Halls ' S. we to cused on shutting them down."

"To be having Jena digging .is many halls is excellent and a gn\il help li >r us when added to our bktcking skills as a team," Gamer said.

Said Pierson, "We can beat anv team in our conference with the talent that we have on our team. We |usl have to believe it."

"Ifs not defense in single,' JMU coach Tom Martin said. "Ifs defense as a group. We have to play well as a unit. We've got players who can attack It'salwav's easier to organize on the defensive side.

To start the second half, the Dukes proved they could attack and came out firing, scoring five goals and continuing a trend. In its last four contests. JMU has

scored 11 goals in the second half, compared to rust three in the first half.

luddenham is starting a trend of his own as he emerged as the icebreaker once again, scoring the opening goal for the Dukes for the second time in as many games.

On a run downfield from his back line position, luddenham took a lobbed thmugh pass inside the lx>x in the 50th minute and chipped the ball over the head ot Albany's goalkeeper Steward Ceus to give the Dukes a 1-0 lead, luddenham has scored once in each of the last three games for JMU.

Injuries have plagued the very young team. Key starters including senior defenders l.y- anne Dupra and Shannon Seipp have been sidelined with possi- ble season-ending injuries. The two are trying to come back for the Colonial Athletic Associa- tion conference tournament at the end of October.

Junior forward l.issv Kokko li nned Tuddenham on the list ol scoring by adding two goals off rebounds in the 51st and 62nd minutes.

The first one came just two minutes alter luddenham's fptl when senior midfielder Kurt \ 1i ■ r-i nk's shot was saved by Ceus. Kokko ran onto the ball, whu'h was moving toward the g.wl line, and put it behind Ceus for what ended up being the game-win- ner. Kokko cleaned up on another blocked shot in frx«it of the net 11 minutes later, assisted in similar

fashion by sophomore midfielder \uk Zimmerman.

Down 3-0 with less than 30 minutes to play, Albany began to plav with a sense of urgency. It paid off in the 70th minute when the I Hikes gave up the ball in their own end.

A blog, sometimes referred to as an online diary or i<»urn.il. allows just about anyone with an Internet COfUWCtiOfl to enjov posting updates about their lives. They can also create or participate in networks of other MogttTS, and form a web of contribution, b\ leaving and receiving comments throughout their network*.

Most blog sit,s boast tree membership and other perks like instant messaging and picture hotting. Perhaps theseendless amenities contrib-

Blogging doesn't have to include writing; it can sbo include picture or video sharing. Sites like Flickr allow those with a Yahoo account (existing, or newly created) to post amateur or professional photography, establish sets of groups of pictures, and create comments on other's photos

While some actresses such as Julia Roberts and Natalie 1'ortman have resisted such evpectations, main feel the pressure to strip in order to act. The Use ol subtleties has altogether exiled. There is no need to hint at desire when actors are willing tO rip their clothes off.

I his loss in actor's expressions is not the only change that has occurred in movie production. It is the skillful positioning ot the camera accompanied bv pop songs that convey messages til lust and warning

"Movies rel\ less on actors expressing emo- tion and mote on musu to create the mood," said senior Angel Koubin.

In the 1990s, the "studio system" reigned Actors signed with studios sgreeing to star in multiple films at the studio | tlist retion

t editor. obsession In honor of my mom's birthday today, I thought an obsession with some-

thing created in her era would be fitting. Enter Wrighfs Dairy-Rite. Granted, this Staunton staple was established in 1952 — which was

not the year Mom was bom — but it's close enough. When you go, be sure to sit in a booth for the hill effect. Then, you get

your menu (on which nothing — with the exception of subs and such — is over $5), pick out what you want (hamburgers, hot dogs and even corn-

dogs are a few options recommended bv Yours Truly), and then pick up the phone to order. Yes, the phone. At Wright's Dairy -Rite, you barely have to speak to a waitress (which I person- ally love). Just pick up the phone and call back to the kitchen. They take your order and bring it out promptly and, in true 1950s fashion, with a smile.

Even better than the phone at the table is the jukebox. When I was there last time, I of course picked Sonny and Cher

("I've Got You, Babe") and started singing. This is what ensued:

ME: Sirring quietly talking to the people I came with. WEIRD OLDER GENTLEMAN: Walks over, turns to me. I was just wondering if I could get your autograph. ME: Confused and annoyed. Why? GENTLEMAN: Because you're famous! ME: Still confused and increasingly annoyed. Ok... GENTLEMAN: I just thought I should get Cher's autograph. ME: Feigning amusement, I laugh nertvusly. Heh heh. Very funny!

Hopefully, this won't happen to you. Either way, it's an experience everyone needs to have. Happv Birthday, Mom! Thanks for reading. tj^,
